Tony Lawrence, founder and brewer at Boneyard Beer in Bend, Oregon, has had a distinguished career\\u2014from his start at early-days Deschutes to the cobbled-together brewery he launched in 2010. Even in the past decade since Boneyard opened, the industry and market have swollen and mutated, but Lawrence and his team have stuck with what they know and like, eschewing the idea that they need to keep growing, being content at their size and trusting in their tried-and-true methods.

In this podcast, Lawrence discusses the Boneyard approach to brewing, including prizing clean and balanced flavor, and not necessarily chasing the shifting winds of consumer tastes. Citing their highly regarded flagship, RPM IPA, he talks about carefully balancing malt sweetness with dryness and hop-bitterness, selecting hops for aroma and to buffer for changes in the crop from year to year, experimenting with different hop formats, and their approach to dry hopping (and double dry hopping). He also talks about assembling their award-winning, labor-of-love, foeder-aged and blended lambic-style and Flemish-style beers.

\\u201cIt\\u2019s been fun the whole time, but it\\u2019s even becoming more fun for us right now,\\u201d Lawrence says. \\u201cThis may not be the most wise thing to say on the radio, but I feel like I\\u2019m being more of a brewer right now than I have been in years.\\u201d

Captain Pabst Seabird IPA (https://captainpabst1864.com):
\\nOut of the west a storm surprised, swept down on Captain Pabst,
\\nThat mariner and gentleman, his actions swift and fast,
\\nHe sailed the seabird against the throes, routing twain wind and fear,
\\nHe took haste to protect his kin, but the port aas far from near,
\\nPabst\\u2019s intuition proved him right, and bore a friendly coast,
\\nThe mighty seabird crashed aground, and to that we raise a toast,
\\nFor while the seabird indeed was lost, safe were kin and crew,
\\nAnd without this mighty ship to steer, Captain Pabst... began to brew.
\\nCAPTAIN PABST SEABIRD IPA. EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE IN WISCONSIN & CHICAGO.
